Chapter : 15
{()}
Unlike in the junior world martial arts championship, not everyone was aloud to fight in the adult tournament. So one who had an aerial view could see an extremely long line of muscle brained idiots and jocks, with the exception of the third through fifth of the line. And if one had yet to guess who these three were, Piccolo, Dende, and Gohan. The Daimo family.
The reason that all of these people were in this big line was because they first had to use a punch machine to see who would be the twelve who would be competing in the tournament. And until they were done, Mr. Pickles entertained the audience with knock-knock jokes so old they made Chi Chi laugh.
The first person in line was Hercule, and the second person was his 'beloved by all' daughter Videl. Hercule got a one hundred and thirty, his daughter got a one hundred and twenty eight. And then everything got interesting. Dende went up and got a five hundred. Piccolo got a five hundred and twenty one. Gohan flicked it with his pinky and it busted, then it flew forward until it eventually hit a mountain half- way across the world. Though that really doesn't matter now does it, though it did make Hikaru a little proud. If one were watching, they would think Gohan didn't notice her blush.
As Gohan turned around he addressed the three-hundred or so fighters who were watching him in awe. " Consider yourselves beaten infidels." With that he turned and walked away, going to see his girlfriend, seeing that Goten was playing with Trunks. Upon jumping onto the wall she had been watching from he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and nuzzling her neck.
The thing is, Hikaru was blushing, no guy had ever really paid this much attention to her. Yes, she WAS beautiful, though Gohan Daimo would think that word wasn't good enough for her, though that would not keep him from saying it often. Hypocritical, maybe.
"Hi Gohan, great job with the punch machine." Hikaru said, smiling up at him. He very nearly melted at this gesture, Hikaru had this ability where she could be so loving toward him.
" Thank you my mistress, I hate to leave, but before I go and pick out my number I have to do something in town, please forgive me." He said, holding her a bit more tightly before letting go.
Hikaru only smiled up at him again and said," I'll just stay here and watch over the kids," she pointed behind her at the two boys patronizing Krillen, since he was the only one smaller than them here. Gohan laughed slightly with her before kissing her and flying off towards Tokyo to take care of some business.

Satoru looked at his two brothers as they were getting ready to go see the World Martial Arts Champonship, they had skipped the junior part of the tournament because Umi and Fuu, who had gotten them to go in the first place, wanted as much time as possible. Speaking of which, the other two males had forgotten to get ready as they were making fun of their little sister's friends in every which way. Not in a cruel way, though, just in a sibling way, except for the fact that any of the brothers would easily choose their sister's life over theirs. The eldest Shidou brother turned to look at Umi Ryuzaki, who looked like she was about to address him.
" Where's Hikaru?" She asked bringing the entire room's attention to her. " I didn't know that she was going to be going somewhere. She hadn't told us that she would." She asked a little impatiently, though still with all due respect for the brother of her best friend.
The three brothers looked at each other before Satoru told the girl what they had silently agreed upon as an adequete answer, " We have no idea what so ever." He said making the two girls fall down in a dramatic Japanese fashion.
" What do you mean that you don't know!!!! How the hell could you not know where she is? She's your sister for goodness sake!" said the beautiful blue-haired girl in one of her many protective tirades in the name of her friends well being.
" I too would like to know where Hikaru could possibly be, she would have told you something wouldn't she?" Fuu said in her ever calm demeanor. This seemed to make the youngest of the three brother remember something.
" Gohan took her somewhere with his son yesterday." He said, which made another tally for Umi's tirades. One wouldn't even have to look at her to notice the fury on her face.
" You let Hikaru go out with some PUNK! I thought that you loved her!" Umi yelled at Kakeru and Masaru, Satoru was behind her , thus could not see her glare. At least, until she looked at him. It sent shivers down the normally calm man.
Even though Fuu was also known for being level-headed, even she was shocked at how the brothers, who were so protective of their sister it could be considered creepy, would let Miss Hikaru go with a man they probably hadn't known all that long. So she decided to inquire about it, "Why did you let her go with him?" She said simply.
Masaru merely looked at her and sad with a common seriousness when it came to Hikaru, "We couldn't trust her safety in better hands if we were gods." He looked toward his brother's with the same look on his face. " And when I say that, I believe I speak for my brothers as well. Am I right?" At this staement Satoru and Kakeru nodded their heads solemnly.
Umi calmed down and looked at Fuu in suprise, one who could see would think that she was doing a fish pantomime.Soon after all of this occurred, one could see them leave for the tournament. If one were as perceptive as the Daimo's, they would see a figure in all black go in through the window.

As Gohan Daimo walked into his beloveds home, he searched for a couple minutes then found was he was looking for, their financial information. As soon as he had memorized it all, he headed toward their bank. If he was going to die, he should at least give the Shidou's enough money to support themselves for a few years without even having a job shouldn't he? He had a lot of money, after all, he had sold several useless objects he had found such as rubies and diamonds. These couldn't be forged onto his sword as it was far more endurable than diamond. If diamond was a ten, the the edge of his blade would be about a couple thousand. His sword was forged from a mineral more rare than the the number of people with natural saiyan blood in them.
Gohan grinned grimly, he was a lucky bastard. Any way, after he put the rest of his money into the Shidou account, which was about five hundred and forty nine thousand and sixty nine cents, he went back to their house and found a jar to store one hundred and fifty senzu beans. He would not take any chances of them and Goten not having an easier life. He had after all seen how much of a emotional hell they would go through without him. It was in a dream of sorts. But he had to ask himself, 'what the hell did I do to deserve any of their grief?'
After that was done, he flew as fast as he could to the tournament, which took about a second or two. Any faster and he would have passed his two rayes of light, Goten and Hikaru.
{()}
As soon as Gohan got back he got behind Hikaru and wrapped his arms around her, then he nuzzled her neck.
" I take it that you missed me?" Hikaru said, turning her head a little to look at the man holding her. She noticed the smug look on his face as he replied.
" I would be crazy not to." So saying, heleaning forward and kissed her. He would have continued doing so if he had not been interrupted by Mr. Pickles announcing something for the tournament entrants.
" Would those who qualified with the punching machine please come to the Drawing Room to draw your numbers for the tournament. The drawing will start in five minutes, thank you." And so Mr. Pickles, once again, ruined a good moment for someone.
" Can I go with you Gohan?" Hikaru asked as he floated up to leave, she used her smile unconciously and he agreed.
" After all, what is a man without his better half?" Gohan asked her as he picked her up and started over to the room. As soon as he hit the ground one could see him setting the crimson beauty onto the ground, and grabbing her hand. He really didn't want to lose much contact with her with as little time as he had left.
When they got to the room all the gazes of the other twelve warriors, with the exception of Dende and Piccolo, fell onto them. This included Hercule and Videl, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, Vegeta, Krillen, Goku, Number Eighteen, Chaotzu, and Buu. Gohan paid them no attention as he walked toward Piccolo and Dende Daimo.
Halfway there a certain blonde haired cucumber intercepted them. " I'm sorry sir but she isn't allowed in here." He said nodding his head toward the glamorous angel at his side. Hikaru made as if to let go of his hand and leave.
" Miss Shidou, do you wish to leave?" Gohan asked her looking into her deep red eyes. She looked at him then at the ground uncertainly. She did want to stay with him so she so she answered him as such.
" No I don't, I don't want to leave you." She said reluctantly, she wasn't sure if she should be disobeying the talkative man with a clipboard. He looked at her, his gaze lingering on her eyes for a few seconds before he turned to the announcer.
" You heard her Mr. Pickles." This seemed to piss off the one named Videl Satan, as she rushed over and started to yell at him. Gohan wan't really paying attention as he was having a Mental Conversation with Goten, and Hikaru had just walked over to Dende and Piccolo to talk to them.
" Listen up bum, you have no right to insult . . blah . . blah . . I am the daughter of Hercule. . . . blah blah." She ranted as Daimo continued his talk with his 'son'.
/ Nii-san? / Goten said.
/ Yes Goten? / Gohan thought back. / Is anything wrong? /
/ Dende told me your power level increased by twenty percent. Is that true? / Goten sent this telepathic message with an awed voice.
Goten heard a mental chuckle before Daimo replied. / That's what I told him, I actual tripled my power./
/ How is that possible? /
/ Saiyans get stronger with every fatal wound, since I am half saiyan, I get half of this effect. So I nearly killed myself several times, then I used my senzus. I did this for about three hours, thus the effect. Though for you I would consider just regular training, you're already several times stronger than I was at your age. Best for you not to do such a thing unless the conditions are dire. / Gohan thought, giving his brother a very important lecture.
/ Does that mean you are in danger? / Goten asked.
/ . . . ./
/ Nii-san? Are you in danger?/
/ Maybe, but unfortunately I can't give any guarentee / Gohan answered. Sensing his brother's fear he thought of telling him something comforting. / Though I do promise, that even if something happens I'll find a way back, even if I have to defy time and destiny. / And he meant it. He had a feeling the Dragon Balls wouldn't work for him. Figures fate would screw him over once again . . .
{(Flashback)}
Gohan was fourteen, he had just gotten out of a fight with an entire army of dragons, he did not win. While he did usually win, most of the armies before weren't entirely made up of dragons. He had broken half of his ribs, an arm, a leg, and had several deep gashes and cuts in his body that would probably leave many scars. He felt so worn out, but by no means tired.
He reached into his pocket for the senzu beans, when he remembered that half of his pants had been torn of back in the battle field. This meant that his senzu beans were a long way away. He laughed at his weakness of being so dependent on them. He flew through space toward the battle field, where many dragons awaited his return.
As the young Daimo gazed upon the number and then sensed his current strength he chuckled fearfully. "Damn, life ,ain't it a bitch." He shot forward just as the dragons chose to attack . . . .
{(End Flashback)}
Gohan smiled at the memory, " That was fun." This proved one of mankinds greatest statements. All the bad things that ever happen are always funny later on in life. Though his happiness did not last long when he noticed the Black-haired bitch about to punch him. He grabbed her hand and held it in place, one centimeter before it would have hit his face. He tightened his hold until there was a very loud snap as her wrist broke.
Videl was in so much pain, so she screamed out loud, bringing everyone's attention to her now on the ground holding her hand which hung limply in her good hand. And Gohan was right by the Daimos, moving so fast that they did not see him placing Yamcha in his place. So it looked as if Yamcha had done it while Gohan had talked with his family.
" Yamcha Bandit! You are disqualified from the tournament for attacking a competitor before entering a ring. Please leave!" And so, Yamcha, as much in shock as anybody, nodded his head dumbly before heading out in a stupor. Even Piccolo laughed at the 'funny' antics of his surrogate son and pupil.

Anyway : chack out my new story for final fantasy eight. The story is titled Squally Doesn't know, an impulse fic creating after listening to scotty doesn't know from the movie Eurotrip and playing final fantasy games a lot. I saw the movie about a week before I made the first chapter, and I haven't seen it since.
